High blood pressure: Treatment for hypertension includes mulled wine in diet Leave a comment

Medical literature for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of the effect of cinnamon on blood pressure was systematically searched.

“Consumption of cinnamon (short term) is associated with a notable reduction in SBP [systolic blood pressure and DBP [diastolic blood pressure],” the researchers concluded.

What do these numbers mean?

Blood pressure is recorded with two numbers. The systolic pressure (higher number) is the force at which your heart pumps blood around your body.

The diastolic pressure (lower number) is the resistance to the blood flow in the blood vessels.
